Your article is PACKED with very import info for me.
There's the search() under the 'custom function' section (and the variables part) that is germane to what I need.
After some fiddling, the following is a useful snippet to check for the existence of a particular element that I need to know (using your animals list):
x.toXMLString().search('animal');
...which returns 1; found.
x.toXMLString().search('ric');
...which returns -1; not found.
Windows: "Where do you want to go today?"
Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming, or what?"
